2.DecisionRules
Recognition evaluation is performed by inspectors appointed by PMDC to verify that a College meets
the infrastructure, equipment, faculty, staff and teaching hospital requirements.
In order for a college to qualify for recognition, the college must meet all of the standards as per the
following standards: (one year improvement time will be given after initial visit)
After satisfying all the above requirements, the college is recommended for a
performance evaluation, after which the college will be recognized by PMDC for admitting
students to the program.
For new colleges, applying to PMDC for recognition for the first time, a complete
performance evaluation may not be performed. Instead only components related to
curriculum design, assessment methods, faculty, institutional safety and hospital safety may
be performed. Full performance evaluation may be performed within 12 months of the start
of education in the college.
The decision rules for meeting the requirements outlined above are as:
If all the legal requirements of college are verified to be met, the requirement for
this standard are deemed to be met.
If in any of the legal requirements are not met, the college will be deemed to have not met
the requirements of this standard.
If all the measurable elements of infrastructure of college are verified to be met, the
requirement for this standard are deemed to be met.
If in up to 10% of the measurable elements regarding infrastructure requirements
are not met, the college will be given 12 months to rectify the deficiency and the college

3.Methodology
For a recognition inspection, the university with which the medical college is a
constituent or affiliated will conduct a self-evaluation based on the standards in this
document based on data of twelve-month period prior to the visit and submit the required
copies to the Inspection Cell at PMDC at least one month prior to the visit.
The Inspection Cell of PMDC shall select inspectors for the recognition evaluation survey
at least two weeks prior to the survey.
Inspection Coordinator
In preparation for the inspection visit, the Dean should select a person to
coordinate the logistics of the visit. This person will serve as the liaison with the PMDC
Inspection Cell about preparations, scheduling and site visit arrangements.
The team will require a dedicated room at the college. The room should have a
furniture enough to accommodate the team. It should, preferably, be close to the Dean's
office, so that staff can control access and adjust the schedule as needed. The Dean’s office
should provide any additional material the team may need in the room, including copies of
self-evaluation reports and any other documents requested by the team
The PMDC Inspection Cell in collaboration with the college and the team finalizes
the schedule at least two weeks before the team arrives.
The administrators of clinical facilities should be advised that surveyors may be
visiting patient care units.
